I stayed at the Aztec in July. Reasonable price for the summer time and cannot complain since it is on the boardwalk. Yes, it is not the Hyatt but you have to keep an open mind, it's like a summer bungalow. The ladies at the front desk were very sweet and helpful with everything. Since my room didn't have a microwave I was able to go to them at night to warm up my son's milk. The view from the balcony is what won the 4 stars for me. It was nice to wake up and see the ocean in the morning. The pool is also very clean. Another reason this place is awesome is because when I left my phone charger, I called the next day to see if housekeeping had seen it. They called me back two days later and had my phone charger. I sent a self stamp envelope to them and it was mailed back to me. Any other hotel would not have looked or called me back. This will definitely be my place to come back to next summer. read more

Aztec Ocean Resort - View from the room with balcony. - Hotels Near Me - Seaside Heights, New Jersey

I host a sporting event (Pole Vault) on the beach in Seaside Heights every year and for the last ten (10) years, the Aztec Ocean Resort has been "home away from home"! The location can't be beat, as it is literally "on" the Boardwalk, centrally located near all the attractions Seaside Heights has to offer. The onsite restaurant (Park Seafood) and bar/nightclub (Aztec Ale House) are great & convenient to myself and my event staff! We have spent many nights "unwinding" at both establishments after long, hot days working our event on the beach! Over the years, there has been a distinct improvement at the Hotel, with recently renovated rooms, upgraded amenities and services and much more. The rooms are clean and have all I need (mini-fridge, Cable TV and frosty AC units)! The new shower units are pretty cool too, with multi-directional jets & pressure adjustments! Lastly, but not least, the Staff has always treated us great and makes a demanding weekend of work easier to handle. Maryann at the Front Desk is always helpful and has assisted us whenever needed! Das Patel (owner), empowers her to solve issues for their guests, which is great and has vastly improved services. Another person at the Front Desk (Crystal) is very sweet and helpful. As an owner of two businesses, I know first-hand how hard it is to find such valuable employees! In closing, I'm already planning our 2019 event in Seaside Heights and will for sure be staying once-again at the Aztec! read more

I've stayed at this hotel for the past 3 years and have seen the renovations each year, it's come a long way. The only complaint I have is the beds are uncomfortable. The pool area is nice, easy access to the boardwalk, stores, restaurants and the staff is great. read more

This place is a dump. They really need to sink some money into that place and update it. It looks as though they built it 30 years ago and never did a single thing to it. Look for somewhere better until they can turn this place around! read more

Ok so this hotel has a great location right on the boardwalk in the midst of things but the rooms were down right terrible. The comforters just looked dirty. The beds you could feel the springs through the mattress. The tile in the bathroom was cracking the handle to turn on the shower was broken. The toilet took holding the handle down a few times just to flush. The table in the room rocked every time u touched it. One of the chairs in the room looked like it had dried up vomit on it. The hot and cold for the sink was backwards. The pool was not bad but the green matting around it smelled moldy and some of the lounge chairs were broken. The staff at the front desk were not very friendly. And lastly the bathroom in their bar was just scary and gross! For a great location they really need to upgrade. read more

Stayed one night ( Thursday) with grandson & husband ( June 2018) room was nice, clean. Price was great. I booked though Booking.com $102, will definitely be back. Highly recommend read more

This place is a motel, yes. the location is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! better than any motel in Seaside. Not modern but it is a boardwalk motel! If you want 4 star hotels than Seaside is probably not the best way to spend your vacation in the first place. it is what it is. It was clean. friendly staff and excellent prices... read more

I hate doing bad reviews because I'm in customer service myself, but this place is horrific. My girlfriend and I decided to stay here for one night to see the Jersey Shore. Pulling up the the hotel and checking in, I asked where parking was. The gentleman at the counter pointed on a map three parking lots where I could park. I searched all three parking lots and they were all full. Instead of walking back up to the front desk, I called the gentleman that was there and told him there were no parking spots. He got extremely rude with me and told me that I "have to wait". I told him wait for what because there was no parking! He then told me that he was going to have his "maintenance" guy get in my car and drive with me to find parking. I parked in the middle of the street, walked up to the front desk and before I even said anything he said started yelling at me "I have to wait for the maintenance guy". I told him that I am not driving 5 hours to stay in a S***t hotel, have some maintenance guy hop in my car to find parking, then wait another hour for whoever a car to get towed. REDICULOUS! Shortly thereafter someone moved their car and I had parking. We get into the hotel, I go to take a shower, there was a pubic hair on the wash cloths. My girlfriend thought she saw a rat under the bed before we went to sleep. The coffee pot hadn't been cleaned in ages. How sanitary is this place? Also the room was supposed to be "ocean view". Unfortunately we only saw about two feet of "ocean". We are actually going back in about a month because we LOVE the beach and Boardwalk, but this hotel would never be an option for us again. Look somewhere else unless you don't want to stay in a complete dump!!! read more

This hotel is HORRIBLE. I have been to cheap motels better than this hotel. The only good thing about the aztec hotel is its location (right on the boardwalk). However the lobby is dirty, the pool is dirty, even our room was dirty. Besides the bathrooms which you can tell have been recently renovated, the room looks like it just isn't well taken care of. There would be dirt on my feet just from walking around the room. And the absolute WORST part of staying at this hotel is the noise. From my room you could VERY clearly hear the club music playing and it was so loud that nobody in my family got any sleep. The music doesn't stop until around 2 AM, IN THE MORNING. We reckoned when we got to the hotel that it didn't matter that the room wasn't in shape, because we were really only using the room to sleep, correct? Well, you can't sleep at all. I highly recommend that you spend your money elsewhere. read more

The location is great. The room was clean, pool water clear, staff helpful. The stairways and hallways were dirty. No elevator service. The pool area not nice at all. It's what I expected and I would return. read more

Get a bulldozer and tear down entire property and build an up-to-date, beautiful place. Needs a facelift desperately! Dirty

I stayed in the VIP room, which I have to say was a total dump. ( And a rip off ) There were 1980's blankets and sheets on the bed and the mattress and box spring were covered in plastic. The room was so outdated and disgusting. The grout on the tile floor which was supposed to be white was a dark grey. The tint on the front windows which overlook the boardwalk were peeling, the bath tub was stained with dirt. The toilet seats were even old and discolored, maybe even dirty. The pool was ok looking. The patio was gross with nasty sticky stuff all over it probably from people spilling their drinks. I have to say this motel was the WORST motel I have ever stayed in. The reason I rated it a 1 star is because it overlooks the boardwalk. Other then that it doesnt even deserve to stay in business. My advice is take some time to search the area and find some where else to stay. read more

My daughter stayed here over the weekend with a group of friends ,they are in college. They had two rooms. I am probably going to sound like a typical parent by saying. my child is perfect. I am not saying that. The security of the hotel was horrible ,rude and harassing. Just by sheer fact that they were under 21..( they were all 19)they were yelled at and told to get out of each other's rooms, cursed at continually and were watched from a distance multiple times to the point of discomfort on their end. They Were told that no one was allowed to be in each others rooms. Now I ask you , "is that the policy of a hotel or a very strict college?" I have no problem with a hotel having any type of quiet policy although the kids assured me they were trying very hard to be quiet and I have to say I do believe them but nonetheless. Screaming at them and cursing at them was not necessary. Obviously she and her friends will never stay there again. This might sound like a ridiculous review based on a typical college student but this is a really clean-cut group of kids. read more

Worst Ever TERRIBLE! I read the reviews but also looked at the site which stated it was one of the top places to stay. So, I thought it would have at least been ok for 2 or 3 days. Well. I was completely WRONG! The place was just as dirty inside as it was outside. I was scared the elevator was going to stop running while I was in it. The place was so dirty I was afraid to touch the sink and wasn't sure if I touched the beds if the bed bugs would jump on me right then and there! We opened the door to the room and was overwhelmed by the smell and odors AND FLIES THAT FLEW IN OUR FACE. Shades broken and the bed was horrific and lumpy. I was afraid to sit on it! The man who I made the reservation with was very nice but he was not around when we got there. It was a bitchy woman with bleached blond hair. My husband and child sat on the bed because the rest of the furniture was so stained it seems like the closest thing to safety. It sounded like a prison (no I really wouldn't know but only on TV shows) because the doors of the other rooms outside were so easily heard shutting and we heard people talking next to us. I went down to the so called office to complain and the woman just looked at me so told her we were only staying 1 night instead of 3. I didn't even want to spend another second in there! After about 2 hours of looking around we decided to leave, couldn't even stand staying 1 more second in that Dirty disgusting place! They would not give us our deposit back and were nasty when I said we were leaving. Take my word, find another place! read more
